Here at VenueNow HQ we know that hosting an event can be an expensive, time-consuming process, so we\u2019ve come up with some DIY event decoration tips and tricks to help you create the perfect space.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be an artist, designer or handy-person to paint the perfect venue-shaped canvas, but it does help to have a \u2018blank canvas\u2019 venue and a vision for your event. The first things to consider are the size, style and setting of your event. These details will determine your venue vision.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning a harbour-side extravaganza in Sydney or a super relaxed team event in one of Melbourne\u2019s hip creative hubs, you\u2019ll want to choose decorations that create an ambience to suit your crowd and the desired vibe. If you give it some thought you might even have all the pieces for the perfect ambient puzzle lying around at home. <\/p>\n

Lights are the first and arguably most important piece of this puzzle. Have fairy lights hiding in the shed gathering cobwebs? A bunch of IKEA tea-light candles waiting for your next dinner party? Or big old  \u2018vintage\u2019 lamps that your grandma won\u2019t let you get rid of? Perfect! These can be used to build the base for your space. Grandma\u2019s lamps will lend themselves to a dimly lit prohibition-themed evening, while those old fairy lights will add ambience for a daytime event in a beautiful light filled industrial warehouse<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, you\u2019ll want some fruit, flowers or something else fancy for added flair. Fresh flowers are beautiful but can be expensive and tricky to transport. Your local $2 shop will have some killer faux floral options that can be disguised as the real deal in that well-lit base space that you\u2019ve already created. Bring the inside out by dressing up a blank marquee space with our DIY event decoration tips and tricks.<\/p>\n

If your chosen venue is truly a blank-canvas<\/a><\/strong> space like a marquee or warehouse then you\u2019ll have the freedom to arrange furniture to fill your space. This can be as simple as grabbing some milk crates and astro-turf from the hardware store down the road.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

For a more casual sit-down dinner, add a square of squishy astro-turf to your crates to transform them into seats and drape a piece of material over others to use as a tables. Not quite fancy enough? Opt for a stand-up, cocktail style event where the only pieces of furniture you\u2019ll need are dressed-up stacks of milk crates in the form of a bar.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

DIY doesn\u2019t have to be complicated, it really is as easy as having a vision, a whole lot of imagination and a few hands to gather all the pieces! <\/p>\n
